Red Earth Dama.

The ruins of Lycoria.

Boom! In the midst of the fierce collision.

The Red Line, tens of thousands of meters high, has now been cracked open with a huge gap, and this gap is still widening.

After merging with the Five Elders, Imu's power became extremely strong, and he gained a wide variety of abilities.

However, he lost the ability to replicate various Devil Fruits over the past eight hundred years, which made it difficult for him to adapt all at once.

boom!

Despite the combined power of five Mythical Zoan, Noah still managed to blast the rock hundreds of meters below the surface with a single punch.

Imu used the power of the Gyuki Fruit to instantly teleport into mid-air, but the punch he had just received still left his internal organs churning. "Cough cough... Why does this lowly commoner possess such immense power? Could it be the Strong-Strong Fruit?"

He instantly sensed the approaching danger and quickly fled into the void.

The next second, a large swath of Noro Noro Beam swept across.

In the sky, a massive barrage of lava projectiles rained down.

Boom boom boom... The unconscious ordinary soldiers of the World Government were directly blasted to pieces by the magma bombs.

The so-called million elite soldiers are no different from ants in front of such a top-level expert.

In the fierce battle that lasted more than half an hour, at least 800,000 elite soldiers of the World Government were killed by the aftershocks.

This is what makes the Battle of Mary Geoise so terrifying.

The weak don't even have a chance to escape.

Imu, who had fled into the void, was terrified. He quickly abandoned everyone in Mary Geoise and fled on his own.

Within the Castle Space, Noah, guided by the tarot cards, sneered at his palm, "Trying to escape? Too bad you can't."

Just now, the instant Noah punched Imu, he activated the power of the Mark-Mark Fruit, which he had just copied from the Clone-Clone Fruit.

In other words, Imu has already been marked by him.

In an instant, a series of Seastone short swords shot into the void.

Imu, who was fleeing towards Elbaf, suddenly sensed danger approaching and quickly activated his spatial jump.

But even after he jumped into the space, this attack still left him with a feeling of unease and danger.

Sure enough, right after he entered the spatial rift...

More than a dozen Seastone short swords shot out from the gaping hole in space. Imu instantly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki and used his fist, which was wrapped in Armament Haki, to smash all the Seastone short swords away.

But the consequence of doing so was that he was pushed out of space and appeared on the sea surface of the New World.

Noah had been waiting for him to appear.

A large Noro Noro Beam shone directly on Imu, causing Imu's pupils to shrink sharply. However, Noah had no intention of giving him a chance to catch his breath.

The Seastone short sword, imbued with top-tier Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, pierced Imu's body in the blink of an eye.

As the Seastone short sword was inserted, the five Mythical Zoan Fruit within Imu's body immediately went silent.

"I'm not reconciled!"

Noah didn't waste any words with him, and directly took out the Devil Contract and extracted blood from Imu's body.

"Contract established!"

In an instant, the five Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit within Imu's body were extracted and then merged into the five fruits.

Without the support of the Devil Fruit, Imu's forced control over the Five Elders' bodies and their souls finally began to disintegrate.

"No..."

Seeing Imu, whose cells were beginning to collapse, Noah did not let his guard down; his main body was still preparing inside the space.

The tarot cards continue to divine everything about Imu.

He even went so far as to use up the luck of tens of thousands of people in order to divine Imu had left any other backup plans.

His caution proved to be correct.

[The end of the world, the rebirth of the Fool, fate is like a cycle...]

[The beginning of everything, the end of everything, the seventh person who defied fate...]

Noah narrowed his eyes, his mind racing as he thought:

Within the authority of the Uranus spaceship, besides the Five Elders and Imu, there is also Narona Yate, Imu's younger brother. If anyone is the seventh person to defy fate, this person is the most likely candidate...

The tarot cards then flipped over.

[Guided by the Wheel of Fortune, the Devil lurks in the Eastern Sea...]

Noah immediately thought of the kingdom that the Nerona Family had once ruled, namely the Kingdom of Britannia, which was located in the East Blue.

Through the Shadow Passage, Noah appeared in the East Blue, at the closest Shadow Anchorage to the Kingdom of Britannia.

I glanced at the map and found that the distance was less than 200 kilometers.

He activated the power of the Float-Float Fruit and flew towards the Kingdom of Britannia like lightning.

at the same time.

Not far from the capital of the Kingdom of Britannia, there is a castle called Windsor Castle.

The castle lord, who was watching the live broadcast of the Battle of Mary Geoise, suddenly showed a struggle on his face. After a few seconds, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at the live broadcast screen showing the devastated Mary Geoise:

"I lost this time, but you'll die of old age someday anyway..."

"Yeah?"

Imu had just possessed his younger brother's body, froze instantly, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Noah emerged from the shadows of the castle.

Imu broke through his defenses, roaring furiously, "Impossible... How did you know I had a backup body!"

"I never explain my reasons to the enemy, especially not to a dead man!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Imu grabbed Noah by the neck, activating the Dark-Dark Fruit's power to silence the Devil Fruit abilities of Imu's body.

As the Devil Fruit power within him was extracted, the balance that maintained his immortality was shattered. Imu felt every cell in his body rapidly collapsing, and he screamed in agony, his face contorted in agony.

"Aaaaaah... I'm not reconciled...!"

Seeing Imu completely reduced to a pool of blood, Noah used the tarot cards to divine once more.

[The end of the world, the fate buried beneath the tower, is the Devil of imbalance...]

The results of this divination finally confirmed for Noah that Imu was definitely dead.

Strolling through Windsor Castle, he entered one of the secret rooms, which was filled with all sorts of books, including various diaries written by Narona Yate.

From these diaries, Noah discerned Imu's cunning and scheming nature.

Although Yate is Imu's younger brother, Im is not the second person to undergo the Eternal Youth Surgery. The second person to undergo the Eternal Youth Surgery was Nusjuro, and Yate is the last.

To allow Yate to survive until the time for the surgery, Imu froze Yate, and it wasn't until 536 years ago that the Devil Fruit User in that generation was captured, and Yate was given the Eternal Youth Surgery.

Imu performed the Eternal Youth Surgery on the Five Elders and his brother not only to control them, but also to leave himself a spare body for resurrection.

Anyone who has undergone the Eternal Youth Surgery performed by him actually has their body secretly modified by Imu, which is why he can easily usurp their place.

After undergoing the Eternal Youth Surgery, Yate did not remain in Mary Geoise to Celestial Dragons. Instead, he was secretly arranged by Imu to return to his homeland Kingdom of Britannia, and become the new king of Kingdom of Britannia, the founder of the Windsor Family.

Imu clearly wasn't entirely confident about the possibility of a new Joy Boy emerging in the future, so he sent his brother back to their hometown to live in anonymity.

If he wins, then there's naturally no need to use this backup plan.

If he loses, he will be reborn in his brother Yate's body, then continue to lie low, waiting for the new generation of Joy Boy to die of old age before he comes out to cause trouble again.

If Imu hadn't encountered Noah, he might have actually escaped this calamity and then made a comeback.
